MLP Villains: Nightmare Rarity

When Rarity is kidnapped by the essence of Nightmare Moon, it feeds upon her insecurities and convinces her to side with the Nightmares, the creatures on the moon who were supposed to take over Equestria once Nightmare Moon had seized control. Her judgment clouded in sorrow and despair, Rarity succumbs to the darkness and transforms into Nightmare Rarity. Will she remain as the new mistress of darkness, or will her friends save her and return to normal?

Here is just a few of the artwork surrounding this most unique and illustrious villains.

What if, instead of expulsing the darkness from her body, Rarity was able to gain control of it? What if the Elements of Harmony allowed her to use her new albeit dark powers for the sake of good? Now that would have been interesting.

"The rose she had was truly an enchanted rose. If she could learn to love another, and earn his love in return by the time the last petal fell, then the spell would be broken. If not, she would be doomed to remain a beast for all time."

Could Rarity have infected Spike with the same darkness to unleash his true dragon form? With him by her side, taking over Equestria would have been a cinch? Who's going to be able to stop a rampaging dragon?
